H-M Kinv f irM mftnths Athena, Oregon, July 22 1927 and building a normal school with funds is materially different. Inas much as the state is without funds, we nominate La Grande as the trouble-shooter to show us how it can be done. No use putting it up to Ike; he's carrying a super cargo already. DO YOUR SHARE The Oregon State Motor Associa tion finds that each individual must do his share if 1927 is to mark the most successful campaign ever con ducted in the cause of safety. Na tional agencies are preparing to launch vigorous attacks on the care less pedestrian and the careless mo torist and their main objective will be to gain cooperation of individuals in both classes. This prospect is linked up with the season of "good resolutions" by Mr. George Branden burg, Secretary, who declares that "citizens can do more in the inter est of safety than making and keep ing a resolution to contribute . their share by driving and walking in obedience to the law. Like all other problems involving the mass, safety narrows down to the individual. We can have sound regulations govern ing traffic and still have the same number of accidents if individuals persist in taking reckless chances. At present, the main issue too often is lost to sight in the maze of argu ment that is offered by both sides to prove the other to blame for the ris ing tide of highway mishaps. We are certain to see in 1927 the most in tensive campaign in the interest of safety. The American Automobili Association, with which this club is affiliated, and other national organi zations are laying the groundwork for a nationwide educational cam paign looking toward individual co operation in the movement. No thinking person will question the need for action. The situation would be appalling were it not for the hopes raised by the tremendous amount of thought given to the subject. It in up to each individual, old or young, motorist or pedestrian, man, woman or child to think safety and govern his every move on the street or high way accordingly." o OREGON FIRST The Portland Telegram takes the sensible view that Oregon's interests should be served first in develop ment through railroad building, be fore acquiescing in the delivery of the main line of the Union Pacific to Washington and Idaho. The Port land paper says: "Eastern Oregon cities have built up their case against the building of the proposed Homestead-Lewiston line. "They argue that the railroad is not at present an economic necessity j that it would traverse a territory that would yield the railroad little tonnage; that the box canyon of the Seven Devil's Country is desolate and unproductive. "The cost of the railroad would be $20,000,000. It would virtually divert the main line of the Union Pacific from Oregon into Washington and Idaho. "Portland should study the case of Pendleton, La Grande and Baker carefully before joining in the move ment to force the Union Pacific to build this line which does not seem to be called for by present economic necessity. "Oregon has much territory that would produce tonnnge, yet undevel oped and unserved by railroads. These districts are calling loudly for rail road construction. "If the Union Pacific is to be forc ed to build railroads against its will, there are many parts of Oregon, such as the country between Burns and Bend, now suffering because trans portation is lacking. "It would seem the wis) thing for Oregon to look after its own I'.rat.'' One of our down state exchanges says those who consider the art of government as discovering ways to impose more taxes on the people call the late special election "the wreck of financial measures." The next device is to say all the high taxes are voted by the people them selves, when it is a fact that the sixteen "measures" were put on the ballot by the tax promoters and voted down by the people. Forty-seven million dollars is now collected an nually in Oregon under laws enacted by the state, and nearly as much more by federal laws. o East End people are becoming in terested in the forest service "sky line" road which runs along the crest of the Blue Mountains, to which ex tensions are to be made, perhaps in the near future. This route, which is primarily for forest purposes, in volves incomparable scenic grandeur and summer recreational possibilities. Potentially, the skyline route may ex tend from near Dayton, Washington, through Meachara and on to Ukiah. The Oregon law of compulsory la beling of market potatoes is a good one if uniformily enforced, says the experiment station farm crop special istgood for grower, the dealer and consumer. It helps dispose of pota toes that grade No. 1 or better and does not prohibit sale of any pota toes that are fit for food. The United States has invested in agriculture $75,000,000,000. It is the biggest business m the world, and vet the men who own and op erate it, have the least to say as to how it should be run. o A bridge 350 feet high, one of the greatest of its kind in the world, now spans Crooked River, adding one more attraction to Oregon's list that beckons the tourist to the playground of the Northwest. o In building the highways, every consideration has been given to the safety of those who use them. Tha greatest factor of danger now lies in automobile drivers themselves. o Among other things that have come to La Grande to help make a bettar town, is an eight-story hotel build ing. o Walla Walla has dropped 'n line and installed stop signals at street intersections. S'all r-r-ight, if we see 'em! Umatilla county will harvest a good crop of wheat no question what the harvest will be, but how about the price?

Iteing a mini of average appetite and purse, lie would have eaten 1.1 tons of bread, which would have made a ulngle loaf, containing ,'M) cuhif feet and appearing about as large as the iiverngo suburban home, and on this bread he would have spread one ton of butter. If his bacon had been cut in single slices the strip tould have been four miles long, and his chops, placed end to end, would have extended two miles. Twenty ordinary sized bullocks have supplied him with beef, some fi tons of which he bus eaten, along with 5 tons of tish and 10,000 eggs and IlfiO pounds of cheese. If he had elected to have all his vege tables served at once, they would have come to him on a tr:ln of cars, the pod containing all his peas being over three miles long, lie has had 0,000 pounds of sugar, 1,500 pounds of salt, 8 pounds of pepper and 100 cans of mustard. Three pints of liquid a day would have amounted to 70,000 pints or 41i tons. -Washington Star. Ira THE KITC hen CABINET 1 , 1927, Wetrn Newspaper Union.) "Tla better to have fought and spent .
